That bad, Jwilli? Perhaps the export stuff isn't the same hooch that we get. It's in the low to medium price bracket here and is by no means the worst. If you want bad, I'll send you a bottle of Matthew Lang red - equivalent of $2.50 USD per bottle. Great for killing blackberries!!

Melissa, we had drizzle all morning and pouring rain the rest of the day--twilight lighting and too dim indoors to get anything good.

But--they're predicting partially sunny tomorrow, so onto the deck it goes for some nice shots.

Melibeeglo--Haha! Maybe you'd better wait until the 481 is done before you call it that....

I was thinking Pretty Purpleburst. Or Perfectly Purpleburst.... Or Pau.... NAH!

Even my wife like the purple, & she's hard to impress with any guitar or finish. She thinks they all look the same, but not that one Image

Here are some shots take this morning when the light was just right:

They are unfortunately very small here and loaded with digital artifacts.

Is that a plexi TRC? How did you come across that, Melissa? I remember the guitar originally having white plastic hardware.

That was probably the final piece we were all waiting so impatiently for.
That is really nice!

Absolutely stunning. Paul, you're an artist, in every sense of the word.

Well, I only just arrived home after being away for the weekend. What a fantastic job again Paul, Melissa have you got the guitar yet?

Reading all the back mail on this one, it would be nice to be able to get someone to get a pre loved Ric that was a good player, but in sad condition and be able to let Paul weave his magic on it.

Pipe dream I know as Paul, now more than ever, will be inundated with work. The chances of a "Skippy" getting in the queue before next pancake Tuesday, are fairly slim I'd guess!!
